Different UI for Multipage Editorhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/218026/692399/#msg_692399
As far as I can tell, it is not possible to subclass the MultiPageEditorPart and replace the UI part. The method createPartControl is final and can't be overriden, and it is where the TabFolder container is created (via private method createContainer). I thought maybe I could override addPage. But it adds the nested editor to the private field nestedEditors, which is central to the multpage editor's functioning, but not accessible. In short, it seems that the TabFolder UI is tightly bound into the multipage editor and there is nothing one can do about it.

This is a shame because all the helpful stuff like MultiPageEditorSite and MultiPageEditorActionBarContributor can't be used without a MultiPageEditorPart. It looks like I will have to roll my own editor and emulate all the extra stuff.

Is my analysis wrong? Is there some way I can get a SashForm editor using MultPageEditorPart?

Thanks for any help.]]>E. Waldin2011-07-04T11:35:25-00:00Re: Different UI for Multipage Editorhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/218026/698014/#msg_698014
org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiEditor used to provide 2 editors side by side, and in eclipse 3.5 org.eclipse.ui.part.AbstractMultiEditor was added as a superclass to allow different kinds of extension.

Documentation on them seems a little sparse, though. They also operate a little differently than MultiPageEditorPart, as MPEP is an editor that contains content but MultiEditor is trying to host 2 real editors for the IWorkbenchPage.
